What does dragon day mean by rushing the dog?

"dragon day rushes at the dog" is a common saying in China. In modern Chinese, it is generally interpreted as "the tiger comes down the mountain" or "the tiger comes out of the cage", which indicates the emergence of the strong or the early warning of danger.

This proverb originated in ancient China. It was originally based on the solar term "Dragon Head Up" on February 2 of the lunar calendar, which means that dragons from the depths of mountains secretly outline mountains on this day to stimulate the vitality of other animals. They are called "February 2nd Dragon Heads Up".

Legend has it that dogs easily annoy dragons and become their sacrifices on the day when dragons look up, so people will protect dogs on this day and let them hide in the house.

Over time, the proverb "dragon day rushed the dog" has become a word to describe the rise of the strong and the coming of danger. This concept is no longer only related to the second day of the second lunar month. Nowadays, dragon day is often used to describe the arrival of powerful people or things. To attract attention and vigilance, we don't have to stick to the time limit of solar terms.
